' Impressive; ceremonies according to the ancient rites for tin
royal dead were . continuous throughout the day and night. Thy
chanting of the watches of kahili bearers on changing shifts every
two hours, with the singing of dirges and the Hawaiian nationa
anthem, the rhythmic movement of the kahilis over the Ixxlv am
the strict obserrance of rituals; forming a picture seen nowhere else
111 tne world, and probably never again to be seen in Hawaii nci.

';',lt was significant that when the Queen's remains were beinp
made , ready; for their last departure from Washin jton- Place, tlu
royal standard which had hung at half-mast tliere since the moment
f the QueenV death was hurriedly lowered and earned into tin
mansion, where, it was wrapped around the Queen's remains, an
thui the; body was carried into the church, the flag of the monarch)
of Hawaii being removed only when the Queen was placed upoi,
the bier for-the lying-in-state. .
The body was, covered with an ivory-hued brocaded silk gar
ment and rested upon a pall of yellow plush adorned with tlu
Queen's, monogram; the brilliant coloring of the pall contrasting
beautifully with, the chaste hue 'of the shrouds The Queen's conn
. tcnanc was covered with filmy tulle through which the features
were easily discernible, sliowing them in repose and yet with tlu
dominant, strength; of former days not altogether missing.

Is that this property, wa not originally'
the Queen 'a nor of Any of ber family.
It was not any part of her ancestral

by Captain Domini, father of ber hus- ;
band. H came into possession of ber
husband on the death of bis father..
At the death of John Domini ba willed '
the' property ot Liliuokalani.. .
